In Ceiling Speaker Tips

In ceiling speakers? Sounds great!

There's nothing like streamlining your home entertainment.  People like to sit and enjoy great sound without drawing attention to their astonishingly complicated stereo systems.  To this end, in ceiling speakers and a multi-room set up provide all the comforts of an extravagant system without flooding your pristine living room with wires and large black cabinets (or their more compact, yet still intrusive cousins). 

First on your list of concerns should be price.  Plan on dropping about $400 for a pair of speakers plus the labor involved - entirely dependent on your capacity with the following tools.

What you'll need

Stud detector

Pencil

Bailing wire

Wallboard knife

Wire strippers

Electrical tape

Fiberglass fish tape

Electric drill

Flexible drill bit (very convenient, but not necessary)

Bubble level

Screwdriver (Philips and flathead)

Drywall mud

Paint (for wall repairs)

Embedded speakers, be they wall or ceiling, require investment and commitment.  But for those who appreciate world class sound systems, it's more than worth the effort.
